SOUTH AFRICAN GATHERING Reviews

   Easy booking process. Thank you!

  I am disappointed with the event because the music finished early. They should have left the music on while the game was on, obviously not all of us at that event were going to fit in the tent. We were left sitting there with no entertainment while the game was on. The organises surely would have known that not everyone would fit in the tent. No entertainment for the kids either. A bouncy castle would have been ideal, maybe 2 bouncy castles a big one and a small one.

   Positive experience

   last year was way better, not because of the weather but because there was entertainment and dancing. There was barely any music playing this time, no DJ and little dancing. We are known for a vibe and this year the vibe was lacking. Also, the screens for the match should have been on that main stage because where it was under that small tent you could barely fit people or have a few places to watch the game then. This year had fewer food vendors than the prev

   Lovely gathering

   It was great to be able to attend an event, such as this. Unfortunately I think there some areas that could definitely be improved. Such as accessiblity, stalls available, a larger area to watch sports events.

   The event needs a larger stage/sound set up. And far more caterers. The queues were for over 30 minutes and many of them ran out of supplies and key items.

 Magic experience. Thoroughly enjoy it every year. Thank you Berilyn and team!

  Could have been better entertainment for both adults and kids.

   Big screen for the rugby was covered in that tent and the rest of us could not watch. Also no music after the live performances. A dj or some backing track needs to be considered for next year. Those who couldn't fit in the rugby tent had no other entertainment

     Overall a great event with a variety of stalls. I would possibly suggest a larger marquee tent to allow more people to watch the rugby match and also double up as a seating area for people before the match. I might also suggest more toilet facilities for campers and even a small wash up area. I would be happy to pay a few extra euro for these facilities.

 2023 was way better as we had a joll on the top near the bar with the DJ playing music there and people were dancing. There was a vibe and everyone was having a fun time. There were many food vendors aswell, just missed the SA drinks like they had in 2021 with Savannas

   Every year this event just gets better and better. We had an absolute blast! . An improvement on the Rugby screen however not alot of people were able to fit in there. Overall you guys did a fantastic job. We were rather disappointed about the security for the camping. two security guards sat in our neighbors gazebo and played music and sang and spoke the entire night. They also drank their alcohol. My entire group had no sleep at all.

   Super!

 It was great to attend and we will definitely be back. The Music was too soft and there was a serious lack of cultural options. Vendors ran out of food, The tent was too small for the Rugby—no coffee stand. Make it a bring and braai, or a spit. Sell the meat on the venue for everyone to braai themselves.

     They were fantastic!

   It was a nice atmosphere good crowd I wish we could have reached out to more South Africans We are Stronger Together💪🏽

 This was my first gathering, I had quite high expectations as I'd heard from a friend who loved it. The food was great and the venue is absolutely stunning, the musicians were not great, it was a bit embarrassing even, I do you know who it was but he just stopped midway, complained his fingers were sore, and that was that. Overall it was alright.

       We loved it but we need more toilets and showers Location was great looking forward to next year

   Did prefer Kilkenny venue and most I spoke to felt the same way. I would like to thank you for organizing the event The time it must take is appreciated x

   Felt awesome being around my people with similar background. Amazing friendly vibe

   The music and vibe was amazing and I would definitely go again

     Excellent overall experience at Mountain View event, however, more toilets, showers and electricity should be available for weekend getaways.

     Fabulous event. Location, entertainment, shops were great. We were camping there for the first time, and would be perfect, but some other campers were very loud until early morning hours, as 3am and kept us and many other people awake. With so many families camping, this needs to be better organised next time. Also was not enough toilets and they were very dirty. Lack of sinks, only showers on site.

   It was decent and the vibe was nice but 2023 was the best year

       Entertainment was not good Soul Groove the Band was definitely missed and would if made the event enjoyable

     5 🌟. Brilliant event organised to perfection

     Yes it was fantastic and the venue was great.

 As per usual the event was brilliant. The venue was superb and lots to do and see and off course. The food was amazing from all different vendors, who had so many options Well done to the organisers, the weather was also on point. Bring on the next one

 Some vegetarian food options would have been nice….as the only vendor selling veg option (curry) left after failing an inspection I was left with no other choice except chips I think there was a stall selling chips but it finished. So for next gathering would be nice to have vegetarians catered for or I will be prepared and take something for myself. Maybe I was the only veggie person there 🤷🏻‍♀️

 Enjoyed it, thanks to the organisers for all of the hard work.

   As above.

   The event was good but unfortunately the stalls were very few of and the queue were very long only to end up buying out of date products which was only noticed when we got home

   Event was brilliant. Beautiful location, plenty parking space, lovely picnic area. Good catering, just a little big to long queues to get food (waited over half an hour to get boerewors). Also some shops with goodies run out with their stock very quickly, so many people couldn't get South African goodies. Hope that will change in the future events. Overall we've had a great fun at SA Gathering!

     Reptole park closed early ans rudely told my child u camw late. Nothibg to ahow u. Pls leave now.

 OK

 First time at the Event!! It was fantastic.Thank You for Arranging it.Looking forward to next year's Event!!!!

 5 Stars - well organised. We had a great time - thank you.

 We thought the stalls and food etc. was very good and the day was well organised however not having hotel/apartments (we are not happy campers) on site (as you did last year), meant that we had to leave relatively early and did not get to enjoy the festivities like we did last year. Also, if we had known before hand, we would have brought camping chairs/blanket to sit on. More tables etc. were needed. We did however enjoy the day.

 Loved it!

 great location and well organised

 Not enough food stalls

 Could have been really great but need more food outlets and also being charged €5 for a 2000ml coke is extortion.

   We had a wonderful day/evening. Thank you for organising.
